Extending Loan Privileges for Faculty

May 7, 2009:

The Shields Library and the Physical Sciences & Engineering Library
are pleased to announce that, effective immediately, faculty and
research borrowers no longer need to bring in Shields and PSE books at
the end of the year to re-check them out. It is now possible to renew
these books on the web (https://harvest.lib.ucdavis.edu/F/?func=bor-info),
by phone or in person.

Books can be renewed twice, allowing faculty and research borrowers to
keep the material for as long as three years (unless recalled for
another borrower) without bringing them back to the library. (Books
with holds on them cannot be renewed). Especially for researchers with
many volumes checked out, this will be a great time-saver.

Faculty with proxy borrowers have some special instructions. Please
check the renewal reminder emailed by the library on May 4 for
instructions. If you have any questions, please call the library
(Shields 752-1203; Physical Sciences & Engineering 752-5507)
